Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 999 - 397: There’s Still an Event_2
This is something money can't buy!
Everyone looked at the Black Snakes and the members of the Starfire Society with eyes full of envy. After all, who wouldn't want such fighting partners?
After the five Black Snakes had their moment in the spotlight, the camera continued to move, with Sixth Army Corps being next in line.
At this moment, the five Black Snakes crawled over to Cheng Yiyi, even climbing onto her body. They hadn't been this close to anyone else when they were with the Starfire Society members. Blacky and its companions made another appearance on camera alongside Cheng Yiyi.
This instant again sparked much discussion, with everyone guessing why these Black Snakes were so intimate with the people from the Sixth Army Corps.
"Did the Starfire Society sell these Fourth-order Black Snakes to the Sixth Army Corps? Ss—surely not, right? These are Fourth-Level Organisms!"
"Lately, the Starfire Society and the Sixth Army Corps seem to be getting quite close..."
"I heard that people from the Starfire Society hold important positions within the Sixth Army Corps, their relationship might be better than we imagined..."
"If the Starfire Society and the Sixth Army Corps join forces, the other military factions will have to pay attention..."
"..."
The base seemed peaceful, yet it was filled with competition. If the Sixth Army Corps does indeed collaborate deeply with the Starfire Society, that would indeed be a matter of interest, given that the Starfire Society is not weak!
The Starfire Society is famous for three things: first, their achievement of being the first to kill a Fourth-Order Disaster-level monster; second, their possession of five Fourth-order Black Snakes; and third, their leader is a Super Healer!
Though the first kill is in the past and won't be mentioned, the second and third points are truly valuable.
So, it's a common belief that even though the Starfire Society has few members, the value they represent is extremely high and not to be underestimated.
As for their combat strength, it's hard to evaluate, as they are quite mysterious and don't make public appearances often, but their on-paper strength is certainly not weak.
After all, they have two Awakeners, five Fourth-order Black Snakes, and it seems they also have an Iron Beetle, which is equivalent to a Fourth-order Awakener... So the Starfire Society has a visible strength of eight level 4 individuals!
And right now, the only force that openly has eight Level 4s is the Starfire Society! This strength is enough for everyone to start taking them seriously.
"It indeed has attracted a lot of attention..."
Cheng Yiyi could feel many eyes turning towards her.
Actually, she didn't want to attract the attention of the people at the scene, but rather that of the civilians in front of the screens.
Because the Sixth Army Corps had lost quite a few people last time, and Wang Tao had brought in a lot of sponsorships, she was preparing to recruit more people.
The treatment in the Sixth Army Corps couldn't compare with the other five major military factions, so they could only seek alternative ways, such as increasing their visibility and showing off their muscle strength...
As for the Black Snakes climbing onto her, Cheng Yiyi didn't feel the slightest bit uncomfortable; in fact, she gently stroked them. This left people even more confused, wondering if the Sixth Army Corps had really bought these Black Snakes. If that was the case, it would be big news...
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
After the camera had moved away, Cheng Yiyi murmured softly:
"If only I really had these Black Snakes..."
After all, with only three Awakeners, these several Fourth-order Black Snakes would significantly enhance the Sixth Army Corps' advanced combat capabilities.
Upon hearing Cheng Yiyi's words, Wang Tao suddenly thought of something—he still had five Snake Eggs in his possession.
During the previous hatching, only the men, including Wang Tao, were willing to raise Black Snakes; Ding Yuqin and the other women were somewhat disgusted by these reptiles. As a result, those remaining five Snake Eggs were left untouched.
At that time, Black Snakes did have a certain effect on their enhancement since they were Fourth-Level Organisms. But now, many in their team had become Fourth-order Awakeners, and their overall strength had increased significantly. Unless the Black Snakes awakened, their contribution to the team's power was minimal. Even when combined, the five Black Snakes weren't as useful as Lightning; Wang Tao had genuinely started treating them as pets.
So, the five Snake Eggs he possessed were basically useless to him. Although they could potentially hatch into Level 4 Lords, the probability was too low, even lower than the chance of Lu Yingfeng and the others Awakening. As for consuming "Snake Fruit"... the five Black Snakes had been eating it lately, and other than a slight increase in HP, there hadn't been much of a reaction. Wang Tao even began to doubt whether the Snake Fruit was a sham...
After pondering for a bit, Wang Tao whispered in Cheng Yiyi's ear:
"Actually, I have a few Snake Eggs. If you want them, I can sell them to you for a cheap price later..."
Cheng Yiyi's eyes widened in an instant.
"You, you still have some?!"
She was shocked, not just because Wang Tao still had Snake Eggs, but that he could actually resist the urge to hatch them?
Before Wang Tao could respond, Qu Shilin immediately leaned over.
"Oh Wang Tao, you've been secretly hoarding Snake Eggs!"
This made Wang Tao unhappy.
"What do you mean 'secretly hoarding'? I've been very open and honest, okay?"
"Then why didn't you tell me?"
"You didn't ask, did you?"
"I—"
Qu Shilin opened her mouth, then paused, realizing she actually hadn't asked... She only asked Wang Tao where he got the Black Snakes and if he was selling them. She had never asked if he still had any Snake Eggs. Not just her, but also others who came to inquire about the Black Snakes from Wang Tao never asked if he had any Snake Eggs left.
